My wife, myself and a dear friend went to The Bridge Room for lunch. We live in the city so we strolled to the restaurant. My wife had been before and had praised the quality and presentation of the dishes, and 'knows her stuff' in these matters as a 'food professional' of 30 years standing. The Bridge room has a friendly bustling city atmosphere, and given its downtown CBD street corner location (no views) has to stand on its Chef's skills and quality and presentation of its dishes. We've eaten at Sydneys top restaurants over the last three decades and happily enjoyed this very pleasant lunch. The wait staff were efficient & discreet. The wine list offerred a good variety of excellent Australian & International wines, and all of our selected dishes from entree through mains to desert were absolutely delightful, flavoursome and beautifully presented. We were seated in the middle of the room with other diners to either side and the bustle and sound level was noticeable but not a problem, & befitting a busy dining room in this setting. We each enjoyed entree, main and desert.. All drew approving comments and little 'shares' among us. Glasses of Champagne to start and two pleasant Italian Soave's as accompaniment to our variety of dishes across the well balanced menu all contributed to a 'thoroughly enjoyable lunch'. We'll definitely be back.

Had lunch here with a work colleague. Each course was well presented and full of flavour. The only negative was that the volume of the voices from other patrons echoed making it extremely difficult to hear our server and each other. Would recommend to those wanting modern Australian fare.

On my wife’s birthday we went on a Saturday night for dinner at a late sitting. This is a two hat restaurant so let’s put the bar at the right level. I have read through the most recent reviews and only can imagine that we are talking of two different restaurants. I have been known for controversial reviews before so I am not afraid of giving my personal experiences honestly.Whilst the food was good it is not outstanding. The scallops were nice, as was the duck.As people have pointed out the place is not large. It is very noisy with appalling acoustics. I could not hear my wife half of the night due to noise. Tables are set on top of each other. Not a place for a romantic meal.Service was well under expected standard. One small piece of bread and not an offer of any more, our plates were quickly whisked away. At one point I had an empty water glass for 20 minutes before it was filled up. There were lots of staff around but none seemed to be serving or taking any initiative if it was not their table. It is worth noting the table beside us (30cms away, we had to move our table when the lady left as there was not enough room for her to squeeze between the tables) served their own wine from the bottle due to poor service.Let’s get onto the wine. I ordered an expensive red which needed decantering. The wine waiter poured the whole bottle, sediment and all into the decanter and then properly served it up. Result was that I had masses of sediment in my glass. Normally I would have sent the lot back but it was my wife’s birthday and I did not want to detract from our night by creating a scene. I asked for a clean glass several times. Like my water glass, my wine glass was empty most of the night. I did make a comment to the wine waiter once on how appalled I was but we did not see him again for the rest of the night after making the comment.Compared to the other two hat restaurants nearby, Aria and Rockpool would see this place into the ground for service and food. For value, view and atmosphere even consider the Park Hyatt or Café Sydney. They have no hats.

The Bridge Room is an excellent restaurant. The food is sensational, and the customer service is second to none. Our table for two was placed in the middle of the restaurant and the staff offered to move us to a quieter location, but the restaurant is not that busy that its a problem at all. We shared a number of entrees and mains and couldn't fault any of the dishes. The drinks menu was extensive and provided great options. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for a visit.
